a sheriff Murdered.

PRESCOTT, Arizona, september q
A telegram just received from Flagstaff
states that Sheriff Mulvenon, who
left here recently with his posse to
arrest the parties implicated in the
fight in the Tewkesbury feud, was
killed by the Graham faction. owing
to the fact that the Tonic Basin is an
isolated district, Geographic communi-
cation cannot be had and all news
must first be sent to Holbrook, seventy
miles distant, by courier. Four deaths
had already occurred, growing out OF
the feud. Melvenon was widely
known trough the Southwest.
The Repors Denied.
ALBUQUERQUE, N. NJ, Sept. g.
A special to the Democrat from
Flagstaff says that reports that Sheriff
Melvenon and posse had been killed
in attempting to arrest the members
of the warning Tewksbury and Graham
factions at Pleasant valley, in this
county, are without foundation. A
feud OF long standing between Tewkes-
bury and Graham resulted, two weeks
ago, in an encounter at Pleasant val
ley, in which three men were killed.
Several engagements have occurred
since, in which eleven men have been
killed. The factions are cattle and
sheep men and the fight is the out
growth of the conflicting interests OF
the two branches of stock growing on
the range. Last week Mulvenon
and posse left Prescott for the seem OF
outlawry, with the intention OF arrest
ing all the parties. Reports of a con-
hict with the outlaws have gained cur
rency, but it has been definitely as
certained that no information what
| ever has been received from Null
venom since his departure from Pres
colt.

| the Government had proclaimed war
against the Irish people.
A motion to adjourn was defeated
by 81 to 81.
The motion to adjourn, which was
| defeated, was made by Mr.. Dillon in
order to direct attention to the pro-
l a1a~oooD ~ Tho rnnafInn ~onnOtInnd

After a debate on the proclamation
this evening, Messrs. Conybear and
Phillip Stanhope offered to join
Messrs. Dillon and O'Brirn in ad-
dressing the meeting of the Ennis
branch of the League. They say they
| will not finch from arrest.
Mr.. Chamberlain does not expect to
leave for America till the middle Of
November.
A Horse Plague.
New YORK, Sept. 2.-The horse
plague which has ravaged the stables
at Cape May, Atlantic City and other
points in southern New Jersey has
reached this city. There are already
a large number Of cases in public stab.
les, and some valuable private horses
have been attacked. The disease il
incurable and is generally fatal in "a
hours. The horse car stable is free
from it so far. The subject is of 9
peculiar Importance in that the great
Boston fire in 1872 was directly due to
the fact that nearly all the horses in
the fire department as well as in the
stables generally were disabled by the
same disease and the fire apparatus
was slow in answering the fire alarm,
